I put the 5333mhz elite kit in the mail heading for Nereus today to test/benchmark on his dark.  It would not run on XMP for me.  

Just saw this, thanks, will keep an eye out for it.
 
The 4800MHz GSkill has been running flawlessly, still just on XMP settings, I have not tightened the timings at all.
 
From what Vince (KingPin) said yesterday, at some point I might drop my 4000GHz Corsair Dominator B-dies back in and downclock them to 3600/3733MHz and see how tight I can get the timings on Gear 1 and then see how it compares to the 4800MHz G.Skills on XMP. I've never really spent time clocking ram, just set for XMP and let it go, so this will be new for me, whenever I get round to it.. got a massive ToDo list already.
 
11900K does 5.3GHz on all cores and appears stable on full load, but man it gets hot (into the 80's on full load), and was sucking down 1.55V / 240W on load (at least at the time I did a screenshot of AIDA64 running). I'm running at 5.0GHz (all cores) for daily use though - no worries there - runs at 1.3V, 39C at idle (ambient 80F) and ~54C on full load, very happy with that. ..edit: tried some rendering on the CPU today and it was well into the 70's at 5GHz. This GPU runs HOT.
 

What did Vince say yesterday?

Also my gskill elite 4800 stuff is flawless in xmp as well.

What did Vince say yesterday?

I asked what his thoughts were on Gear 1 / Gear 2. You can see it on the stream video from yesterday at timestamp 4:15:13 onward

Said dual rank Gear 1 is best configuration. High freq mem on Gear 2, but efficiency not as good as Gear 1.
 
Also watch at 4:20:30 ..possible reference to a 3090 Super Kingpin????

If this still holds true:
 
( CAS Latency / Frequency(GHz) ) x2 = True Latency (ns)
 
5333MHz C22 = 8.25ns
4800MHz C20 = 8.33ns
3733MHz C17 = 9.11ns
3600MHz C16 = 8.89ns
 
But if you can get those timings tighter...
 

Ive got the G.Skill royal elite 32Gb (16x2) @ 3600mhz CL14
Haven’t installed them yet as I am waiting for a radiator and fittings.
But I should just leave it in auto or gear 1 ?

At 3600, you should try to run gear 1.

 
@rblaes_99 I sent you a pm with more detailed results at different levels, running BIOS v1.05 btw. Bottom line: 5333MHz wasn't happening, even with significantly loosened timings - could not even get into bios, had to reset CMOS every time.
 
5200MHz C20 1.6V was able to boot to windows, but unstable, managed 20 seconds of stress test before crash & restart.
 
5200MHz C22, 1.6V (basically XMP settings but 5200MHz) was better, but stability test halted itself a little beyond 2 minutes, although I still had full Windows functionality, so it was close.
 
Fully stable at 5000MHz C20 1.55V. Not up to spec XMP, but still not bad, and way better than that first batch of sticks when I was on BIOS v1.04.
 
These were all Gear 2 obviously.
 
@B0baganoosh I'll ship these to you on Monday to try on your FTW board.
 
I would like to see how these sticks go on an ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Extreme since that is also rated up to 5333MHz.

I'm working on a cross-ship RMA for my motherboard right at the moment, but I'll see what I can do lol
